[Change-Request][Redraw Taiwan accurately on the campaign map][New]

Post by redStick »

Taiwan, aka Formosa, is shown on the map of the Boot Camp, Morning Sun, Rising Sun, and U.S. Pacific campaigns. On a modern map, the island’s closest point from mainland China is 1.4 cm away when the island is measured 3.2 cm long; on the campaign map, it is 1.2 cm away.

On the modern map, the included angle between the axis along the island’s length and any intersecting meridian is lesser than that of the campaign map. Thus, the island is too close to mainland China and should be translated a bit farther from mainland China and rotated counterclockwise a bit. Moreover, the shape of the campaign map Taiwan doesn’t match the modern map Taiwan. Therefore, I request Taiwan to be redrawn accurately on the map of the campaigns above.
